  • Hi! the link you posted was obviously written by someone who is ignorant of what (s)he is talking about. Ht claims that people who object to "vnyls" would say things like "I have three vinyl", which is utterly preposterous.. NO ONE my age, who understands the correct use of the word, would say that. We would say "I have three records/LPs/albums", or "I have three vinyl records/LPs/albums" or perhaps "I have some vinyl." This absurd error makes the entire article suspect.. I'm guessing the author resented being corrected, and decided that the best defense was to go on the offense. Objection to "vinyls" is only a new peeve, because the error itself was uncommon previously. The existence if a few errors on the part of a few writers in the past does not make an incorrect usage somehow correct. Do not follow what that writer says, unless you want to embarrass yourself.
